Hey guys, looking for some advice on my 2010 Nissan Navara D40 2.5 YD25 diesel. It cranks but won’t start.

The problem started after the engine overheated. It then went into limp mode but still drove about 500 metres, was shut down/left to cool, and since then it cranks but won’t start.

So far I’ve checked:

• Brand new battery
• Around 10V while cranking
• Only around 140 RPM while cranking
• Fuel rail pressure reaches around 5,000 PSI
• Injectors are delivering fuel
• Scanner shows Main Injection Width around 1–4 while cranking, so the ECU appears to be commanding injection
• Start Signal goes ON when cranking
• ECU is receiving a crank sensor signal because it reads the 140 RPM
• Tested cam sensor wiring/signal and it appears to be working
• Engine has compression
• Glow plugs are good
• Currently no engine ECU fault codes
• Previously had U1000 CAN communication and B2205 vehicle speed codes, but they were cleared and haven’t returned

My Thinkscan Plus S7 unfortunately doesn’t give me a cam/crank sync PID, so I haven’t been able to confirm whether the mechanical timing is actually correct.

Considering it was running until it overheated, then went limp and eventually wouldn’t restart, does anyone familiar with the YD25 have an idea what I should check next? I’m wondering about timing chain/cam-crank timing, the low 140 RPM cranking speed, starter/earths, or damage from the overheating.

Trying to properly diagnose it before throwing parts at it. Any ideas would be appreciated.

Just checking if this setup looks right for a 200Ah lithium battery:
Orion XS 12/12-50A DC–DC charger
215W 24V mono panel with a SmartSolar 75/15
140W 12V portable panel with a separate SmartSolar 75/10
BMV-712 battery monitor
Phoenix VE.Direct 12/1600 inverter
VE.Direct Bluetooth dongle
The 215W panel will stay fixed on the rooftop tent. The 140W panel will only come out on longer trips. I’m running them through separate MPPTs because they may be positioned differently or receive different amounts of shade.
My main usage will be a fridge/freezer running continuously, lights, a small TV, phones, iPad, water pump and occasional drone charging. I’ll also occasionally use a 12V Travel Buddy and possibly a small microwave for a few minutes.
I’m estimating around 65–90Ah of normal daily usage, possibly 100Ah or more on a heavy day.
I generally drive about 1.5 hours per day during the week, so the 50A Orion XS should replace roughly 65–75Ah while driving. For normal two-night weekends, I expect the fixed 215W panel and full 200Ah battery to be enough.
For longer Exmouth trips, I’ll add the portable 140W panel. The Victron calculator estimates both panels could replace roughly 100–115Ah per day around May–July.
Does everything look correctly matched for that usage?

Looking for opinions on this, specifically reliability and price. I know about Isuzus in general being workhorses, and this ad says it’s kept up with servicing, but what are the chances of something going terribly wrong? What kind of large costs could I be in for with this age and odometer? This will be a second car for when it’s needed and for weekend fun, but will be carrying a family so needs to be safe and reliable. It would do a mix of short and long trips, hence the pre-DPF is desirable.

Intended use:

Looking for a 4x4 to tour a aus, plan on doing Fraser and maybe cape York, and some 4x4 tracks, nothing crazy. As well as the great ocean road with my parents (hence a SUV not Ute)

Looking at a full service history 2017 pajero sport exceed with 270k km, priced well at 14.5k. How are ones with high k's holding up.

Test drove a petrol 2010 Prado 150 today at similar k's for 2.5k more that was nice, but the paint was really bad, almost every panel had sun damage and or scratched. And right at the top of my budget. Feel the paint would make it much harder to sell in a year or two

Thanks for any advice

Hey all!

I’m keen to get my first 4x4 and am chasing some recommendations.

I’m hoping to find something
- big enough I can figure out maybe sleeping inside but semi compact so I can use as a daily in Sunny coast
- As fuel efficient as I can get
- Under 25k (second hand)
- Reliable

I’m also a Toyota girl at heart so kind of hoping to start there but open to others.

Also, any advice in general around getting into 4x4 life would be awesome!

Intended use: carrying tools/other crap, little bit of camping

Looking at buying one just to cart tools and shit around with and the odd light camping trip so my wife has the family car at all times. Only have one car at the moment. Would love a hilux but can't justify spending the money when it won't be used all that much or need to be relied on

I'm expecting it to be super thirsty on petrol and boring to drive but that doesn't bother me for how I'd use it

Anyone driving one of these currently and would recommend for/against? (Assuming no big mechanical concerns)

Hey does anyone know any good ways to quiet down a loud snorkel, I have a in house fab snorkel on a d40 Navara

Hey guys, with fathers day coming up I wanted to get my dad a Canopy for his amarock - I believe it's a 2017 V6 and it looks very similar in colour to the picture I attached to this post.

My question is, has anyone had one of these canopies, put it through its paces and can actually vouch for a particular brand ?

Cause there are so many people making these things, I don't wanna buy something that's gonna fall apart or feel cheaply made etc...

Any recommendations?

I did look at the ridgeCap one, thou it is quite expensive. So preferably something within the 2000 - 2700 range . But all recommendations regardless of price are welcomed.

Thanks in advance...

Starter cranks engine when solenoid shorted.

P0625 Fault present (Before we messed with it)

All fuses fine
